Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL)
Started out good turned BAD, then turned good!!!!!!
===
XXX-S
Tested XXX-S #2 as a spek class car. Trying to get speed without a lot of heat in motor had a 33 tooth pinion to start. 35 more speed no motor temps above 110, 37 and more speed and motor temps 105!!! Then seen the drive belt rubbing. Parked to XXX-S #2.
Qual'd 3rd with a set of BSR Blues. Changed to Sweep 36 for the main as the Blues just were NOT working well.
Da' main, was 3rd about mid way in the main, hit the wall at the same place as last week, rolled backwards about 4 feet, spooled the belt off again!!!!!!!
===
GT2
Qual'd 2nd. Ran about 5 - 6 laps during warm up for the main, lined up as the last racer got on to the track, race director instructed us to make a warm up lap. Lined up, GO at the tone. Tone, pulled trigger and flamed out!!!!!!!!! Was able to get back to the pit, start the GT2 and get two laps in before the main ended for a 5th finish.
===
Now the REAL GOOD!!!! :-)
Traded the 12l pan cars for a AE TC4, the XXX-S is retired!!!!!!!!!

Shriner's Benefit Race
XXX-S
Qual'd well in the top 4. The main wasn't so nice!
Was running 3rd, then a wall got to close at top speed, the impact caused the drive belt to spool off the pulley's!! Dead on the track!
===
GT2
Qual'd 3rd, hoped for a 2nd in the main. 1st (Mike) was rear ended by another racer and was out; was looking good for a 1st :-) Then 2nd (Louis) was able to pass me, in 2nd again :-(. Two laps later 1st had a run in with another racer and I was by into 1st, then was passed just before (Louis) tangled with the same racer in the same corner and I was clear for the win!!!!

RC10GT2
A couple little adjustments, received a set of 1/10 setup wheels. Set the front and rear camber and the front toe, then at the track changed to Losi blue spring in the rear shocks. This thing just gets better and better!!!!
TQ!!!!!! Had a ten-fifteen foot lead on 2nd at about half way on the first lap and touched a pipe wrong and I was on my top waiting for a marshal!!! Did this 2 more times!! Last I figured, I was in 5th at the end. When I seen the results, I was in 3rd just 6 sec's behind 2nd, IF I had known I was that close, may have been able to get 2nd!!!!
===
Losi XXX-S
Had TQ for about five laps in first qual, then Max got in gear and was gone!!!!
Qual'd 3rd but at the start Shark broken so I started in 2nd and that is how I finished!!!!
===
NO racing for me 10/11/14 have to work at UTC to get some store signs up in time for UTC grand opening 10/16/14.
